Pygothrips shavianus (Bagnall) View in CoL

Cryptothrips shavianus Bagnall, 1918: 216 View in CoL

Described from “two males” taken 31.i.1916 on Acacia View in CoL at Healesville, Victoria, these specimens are dark and opaque, and the specimen selected as Lectotype is “probably a female” ( Mound 1968: 77). One female has also been seen from southern New South Wales, and another from Tasmania. The head and thorax are similar to those of P. pygus View in CoL but the pelta ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 34‒39 ), also the tube and setae on tergite IX, are different. As in that species, the base of antennal segment VIII is narrower than the apex of segment VII, and the fore wing bears about 20 duplicated cilia.

Specimens studied. Australia: New South Wales, Dalmeny , 1 female from dead branches, 26.xii.2010 . Tasmania, Huon Valley , 1 female from dead branch, 31.i.2001 (in ANIC) .
